Senses in use

  1. Breaking of bread · dominant

    Both occurrences use κλάσει as a dative singular feminine noun in a phrase concerning bread. In Acts 2:42 the APB renders the clause "in the breaking of the bread" alongside teaching, fellowship, and prayers; in Luke 24:35 it renders "in the breaking of the bread" as the setting in which he was made known to them.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In both cited verses, the APB presents the phrase as "the breaking of the bread." This identifies the clause's presentation rather than isolating an English equivalent for the noun alone.
